<br />. <br /> <br />.. <br />City of Centerville <br />February 27, 2002 <br />Council Minutes <br /> <br />#. ,. <br /> <br />Richard Thompson of 1657 Peltier Lake Drive expressed his concern with the outside <br />storage provision of Ordinance #4. Specifically, he lives on a lake and the Ordinance <br />does not provide an exemption for the outside storage of docks and boat lifts. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked for clarification of the changes to the Ordinance. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes explained the underlined portion is being added and also a sentence <br />requiring site plan review. <br /> <br />Mr. Thompson inquired as to whether, since the provision is not being changed, it applied <br />to residential. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the Ordinance has been in effect and <br />does pertain to residential properties. <br /> <br />Mr. Thompson asked Council to add an exemption for boat lifts and docks to the <br />Ordinance. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated Council would take his comments under advisement and <br />would consider them later in the meeting. He then thanked Mr. Thompson for bringing a <br />potential issue with the Ordinance to Council's attention. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked if residents are required to take the docks out ofthe water <br />or if it is a preference. <br /> <br />Mr. Thompson explained that ice out in the Spring would tear up the dock and also noted <br />the permit issued by the St. Paul Water Department requires the docks to be removed. <br /> <br />Mr. Thompson asked for clarification of the C-I designation and indicated he had been <br />told the area was a wetland. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated it is a <br />wetland. Mayor Swedberg commented that the wetland has a DNR number. <br /> <br />Mr. Thompson commented that the DNR had advised him to stop cutting the grass <br />between the street and the pond because there should be a 75 foot buffer area. He then <br />asked what "natural buffer area" meant to the City. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked Mr. Thompson ifthe DNR had directed him to <br />stop mowing the area. Mr. Thompson indicated he was told to stop cutting because <br />things get blown into the pond. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated that natural buffer zone is not defined in the Ordinance. He <br />then indicated the City would look into the matter. <br /> <br />Page 2 of 24 <br />
